As an undergraduate psychology student, my interest lies within the realm of psychosocial adjustment in individuals affected by appearance differences, as well as the psychological intricacies surrounding plastic and reconstructive surgery, and the implications of body image on mental health. I am committed to honing my research skills, which is why I have chosen to immerse myself in the research labs of plastic and reconstructive surgeons.Their research initiatives enhance surgical care through advancements in technique and increased accessibility to all in need. Engaging in this allows me to gain invaluable insights into the processes I will one day guide patients through. I will better understand the intricacies involved in the procedures my patients will undergo. I am dedicated to the mission for an improved standard of care in this specialty. I will be learning from my mentor, Dr. Jordan Swanson, a distinguished plastic surgeon renowned for his extensive contributions to craniofacial surgery with over 80 scientific publications. I am privileged to be part of a collaborative team comprising psychologists, social workers, researchers, and accomplished plastic surgeons specializing in various areas of the human appearance and the mind.I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity to learn from these trailblazers in both the fields of medicine and psychology, as I embark on this journey toward contributing meaningfully to the intersection of clinical practice and research.
